“Letters so you’re able to Penthouse XIX” is actually staggering. The fresh new nineteenth type of letters out-of Penthouse “readers” (which is, actual members as well as the editors just who simulate them), culled on fabled Community forum area of the journal, brings a bit of everything on the mediocre libido: fellatio, cunnilingus, vaginal sex, anal sex, exhibitionism, voyeurism, dominance, playthings, category sex, in the home, working, throughout the vehicle, towards the coastline, regarding bleachers. Oh, yeah . yeah . yawn.
Time has enacted once the Penthouse Community forum given reducing-boundary titillation; 384 users out-of sucking and you can screwing, which have good smattering out-of edgier nastiness, most actually all of that within the an era of one’s Super Dish thumb — or, more important, the net, in which videos away from a greatest resorts heiress can be acquired having quick down load to own $50, and you may porn writers speak about predicaments Penthouse members you certainly will never ever envision. This new effect have devastated Penthouse, whoever copywriter filed getting Chapter eleven past summer, and lots of bet on a whole redesign by the yet another holder. It has been a good humbling be seduced by Penthouse, hence burst into the scene 40 years back, a good Playboy simulation that dallied toward side of kink. America’s concept of one to boundary, even though, has changed drastically; Penthouse’s really has not yet.

What is most fascinating regarding the “Emails so you’re able to Penthouse XIX” is the fact that magazine’s clients, seem to, haven’t altered much either. I’d go as much as to state that, contextualized, all the “reader” experience into the “Letters” numbers, shockingly, in order to an acceptance away from loved ones beliefs.
